Monster Cable iCable for iPod

Rating:
Summary: fell in love after aprox. 3 minutes
Review: 30 seconds after I opened the box, my brother made himself busy with the task of destroying all the packaging material, and I had just read on one of the fragments of the box, that I must keep all of the packaging material to return the cable. I began get worried. If this little cable didnt work the way I wanted it to, i just got screwed for 30 bucks.
However, when I plugged my 20Gb iPod into the iCable, then into my stereo, I was suprised. I must admit, I did not have much faith in a little black cable that looked like a piece of rope with three plugs on the ends. However, what I got was possibly the greatest sound that has ever come out of that little ipod. I was very suprised; I had expected the same quality as the CDs I previously had to burn to get my music to the stereo. What I got was the most wonderful sound I imagined that could possibly come out of those big, blue speakers of my stereo.
The iCable is also very convienient. I can hook up my iPod, make an 'On the Go' playlist, and listen to whatever mucic I want without having to wear those little painful Apple Earbuds.
The one thing that anyone could possibly object about the iCable is the price. $30 plus about $5 for shipping is a bit heafty for a little black cable however nice it may be.
However, the conveniece and the sound more than make up for the price. In my humble opinion, it a great thing to have, and is and probably will continue to be usefull, as I use it more and more.

Summary: ATTENTION: YOU CAN GET THE SAME CABLE FOR HALF THE PRICE
Review: Amazon.com also sells this exact same cable for less than half the price of the iCable. Some marketing genius at Monster Cables took their THX-certified RCA-to-mini 8 foot cable, gave it white connectors, called it an iCable to appeal to iPod users, and then doubled the cable's price.

Do an Amazon search for THXIMINI8 and get that cable instead. It's the same high quality as this one, but doesn't have the stylish iPod white connectors though.

I have two, one connected to my home stereo receiver, and one wired into my car's audio system. I am absolutely thrilled with the high quality audio the cable provides, especially for such a low price. I tried the El Cheapo cable from Radio Shack, and there is a noticeable difference on my (admittedly high end) home and car audio systems.

Summary: I'm happy satisfied with it.
Review: Great unit! Who says size does matter? The length of the cable makes the whole package quite satisfying. I would not hesitate to get it again.

Summary: The shielding makes a difference
Review: I am using this cable between my Delphi XM Radio home adapter and a high end stereo system. The out-of-the box cable that came with the adapter was the usual cheap, unshielded thin cable that comes with most electronics today. This cable caused a loud hum in my system. The shielded Monster cable removed the hum completely and worked very well with my high end system. Having a high end system, I know that cables can also make an audible difference in sound quality; however they only make a difference if the system is revealing enough to let these nuances flow all the way to the speakers. Typically such systems cost several thousand dollars. Let your ears be the judge.

Summary: It DOES make a difference
Review: I have always used Monster cables with my stereo and I do not get any noise. I think it is well worth the money.

Summary: Helped me save a dying shelf system
Review: I have an old shelf system that would have already been in the trash heap if not for this little accessory. The CD player and tape deck went, but the stereo inputs still work and I have Dolby surround sound with a subwoofer hooked up to it...a must with my DVD player. So, for a while I had only been using the stereo for the TV/DVD, but now using my iPod I can have music again as well. In fact, it's preferable -- I've gone from having only a three-disc changer to having over 1,000 songs at my disposal -- all with CD quality sound and customized playlists.

Summary: icable Vs THX cable
Review: I highly recommend the THX cable that is 14.99+ tax. I own a AVR520(harman cardon receiver) I played ipod at about -35 decibels my entire house shook but not a hiss or distortion in the output, I am very particular about the quality of music output and THX won it hands down.
